FORD CARS 2 ROVER BICYCLES! THEgfBEST OF GOODS IN THESE LINES. [Copy of letter received by Wellington agent for Douglas Motors.] George Street, Wellington, . September 9, 1912. Dear Sir, —I am writing you a few lines to tell you k»w I became a rider of a Douglas lightweight motor-cycle. Some considerable time ago I ordered «wi 8-h.p. machine with side-car, and owing to delay I decided to buy a lightweight to potter about on until the arrival of the 8-h.p., aaid ( then intended to sell the lightweight. My choice fell on a Douglas, and I j bought a 1911 model. I had always believed in a heavy-weight machine, .. and, not having previously ridden a lightweight, you can imagine the sarprise I received at the ease I could start and the power developed by tiiis maclune. I had many thousands of miles pleasure out of this machine, and when my 8-h.p. arrived I simply couldn't part with the Douglas, -so I decided to keep the two, using the large machine for side-car and tfee small machine for solo riding. When the 1912 Douglas arrived I purchased one, and I find it is an ideal machine, very easy to handle, can be started at a walk, upkeep very light. My back tyre has done over 6000 miles and is not worn out yet. The speed obtained by this model is enormous, and I can climb1 hills that higher power machines find difficult. In all my riding on Douglas machines I have never experienced a mechanical stop, which speaks volumes for the material, and magnificent workmanship of the Douglas motors. In conclusion, 1 may state that never would I purchase a heavy-weight motor for solo riding, and I can honestly recommend the Douglas motor-cycle Us the best light-weight on the market.
